Actually, I could see that possibly working.

Love how this comes out immediately after USC saying "all options are on the table" regarding their future conference membership.

Even though I'm not a fan of Bohn, like most people aren't. I'm glad he spoke publicly about about the shortcomings of being in the pac 12.
USC wouldn't have a problem getting on TV
That was my first thought.
PAHI thinks no one knows or cares about USC outside of the Pac-12. Not sure why, but that is his view.
Just replace them with SDSU and it's basically an even trade
Do you think that USC could get its own TV deal a la Notre Dame? I honestly don't know but it seems like a stretch.
Wasn't me, but OK.
You do know that BYU got a TV deal, right?
Oh.... you didn't know that - you're spouting off without specific knowledge.
Again.
Try to keep up. USC's independent TV deal would be better than BYU and likely less than ND. But it would be closer to ND than BYU.
He’s right it was Jalepeno, which means there are two individuals here who believe USC is irrelevant outside the Pac 12
I know it was jalapeno, but then PAHI defended the idea, so he gets added into group of dumb by default
It is written.
Looks like you agree with me then. USC wouldn't get a TV deal a la Norte Dame. Maybe something regional, on a lesser network......
BYU has a national deal.
USC would get a much better one.
What rock do you live under?
BYUtv is not NBC. My only point was that USC doesn't have the broad national following that ND has. USC would not get a deal with a major network. It would be more like BYU's situation. JMHO.
The deal is with ESPN for rights to all the BYU home games with a minimum of 4 having to be picked up (networks + also on the ESPN app). BYUTV is only part of the deal for ESPN letting them broadcast 1 game a year because BYU wanted that. At least 3 of those ESPN games have to be on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2, while the rest they pick up optionally being on ESPNU. They also locked in BYU to the Independence Bowl, basically.
BYU announces 7-year ESPN contract extension, bowl tie-ins
Anyone who worried that ESPN didn’t really like the BYU football brand can put those fears to rest.

Certainly not after this coaching search. Not sure why AllBuffs is always concerned somebody is going to steal our average performers. If so, we can just move Chev into the AD.

Thanks Nik, I knew that. We have Xfinity with an extra sports package upgrade and it still doesn't include ESPNU (or ESPN3 for that matter). It's not a big full time national broadcast deal but, it's all good. My issue with USC is that a) it's a relatively lukewarm fan base unless they're doing really well, and b) I wonder how geographically widespread outside the Pacific Time Zone its alumni base is. My point in starting this subject was that, while I like Bohn's style with his recent comments, I don't think that USC has much better options than say, a UCLA or Washington, in getting out of the PAC12 seamlessly and successfully.
On another subject, here's an idea for a new conference altogether: ASU, Arizona, CU, Utah, Texas Tech, Texas, OU, Okie State. Let the PAC 12 revert to it's old format of 8 teams; they can deal with their own problems. The new conference combines the guts of the Big12 with The Rocky Mountain Time Zone PAC12 teams.
The biggest watch parties I've seen in the DC area are USC's. And not by a little bit.
They have a national presence.
Every USC alumni I know talks about going to alumni events every so often.
Lots of these friends are in the foreign service, when we talk football they talk about going to watch parties in Hong Kong, Mexico City, etc, etc.
But tell me more about how they don't have a "national" audience.

Private school alumni outreach is impressive; makes sense without the public funds and smaller size. My wife went to a private liberal arts school on the West coast and they reach out all the time. Mailers, calls, local happy hours meetups (we’re 1500 miles away). They do everything they can to keep their community engaged.
BYU has the built in Mormon community.
USC $hits money, is a blue blood, and would have zero issues getting a TV deal.
I hope they mean end of the school year.

The numbers, at least from last year, don't back your anecdotal evidence. Two other Pac12 schools beat USC in total viewership last year.

I think that has to do with those schools being good. Being an independent with their own TV deal would likely motivate USC to get a real coach.
